there is one poster who constantly bashes it. i agree - it's funny how much people ended up wanting it and how happy people seem. we are also starting there in the fall. [ Reply | More

We are too and couldn't be more thrilled. And i'm certain too that there is one particular basher (as you pointed out). Families we know there are very very happy. [ Reply | More

Nestiacs are the most insecure, desperate group...constantly trying to cover up for the nightmare that school was just a few years ago, when everyone wanted out of there.....I hear it's much better now. [ Reply | More

because lots of people in other than D2 and D3 have no choices. they have to choose NEST. Next year TAG would be the new Anderson! [ Reply | More

I'm confident it will. We are sending our 99 DC there in september for kindergarten. Toured it the other day. Impressed with the teachers and staff - friendly and highly qualified. Very positive and supportive environment. [ Reply | More

I really wanted to like it, bu i did not like Nest when I toured. Very strict and stiff environment and some of the classes we toured were so depressing. [ Reply | More

I'm one of the pro-NEST posters. I defend the school not out of some personality flaw as is suggested above, but because so many of the posts/posters who criticize NEST here either have no first hand knowledge of NEST or they have old knowledge. [ Reply | More

I thought it was a horror at the Fall open house, but dh visited for the tour after the results came in and really liked it. He said it was like night and day from the open house. Excited, if a little wary, that our ds will be going there. [ Reply | More

People at NEST including people who are quite happy with it say that it's strict and has a lot of rules and a lot of homework. Has any of that changed? [ Reply | More

If you search here there are plenty of discussions. My K son has homework but it is rarely an issue to get it done and if it is it is because he dicked around the first few nights and has to get it all done at the end of the week. (It is assigned weekly not night by night.) [ Reply | More
